Will Bear the Moon
Everything hurts—bones, muscles, the delicate space behind my eyes where exhaustion has taken root like thorns.
The desk looms in front of me, a silent scold. On one side, a pile of opened letters. On the other, unopened envelopes, sealed and waiting. A single letter lies beneath me, slightly crinkled—damp with drool.
I stare at the page, forcing my vision to focus. The ink curls in elegant cursive, soft and familiar in its formal politeness. Sir Bryant's proposal, with its flowery language and carefully constructed devotion. The words blur before settling into clarity, each letter a small reminder of duties I'd rather forget.
